A cellular-level study of the pathophysiology is crucial for understanding the mechanisms
behind human diseases. Recent advances in quantitative phase imaging (QPI) techniques …

This review focuses on one family of the known cAMP receptors, the exchange proteins
directly activated by cAMP (EPACs), also known as the cAMP-regulated guanine nucleotide …

Quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) has recently emerged as a new powerful quantitative
imaging technique well suited to noninvasively explore a transparent specimen with a …

Adenosine (Ado) is a well-studied neurotransmitter, but it also exerts profound immune
regulatory functions. Ado can (i) actively be released by various cells into the tissue …

Due to its strong correlation with the pathophysiology of many diseases, information about
human red blood cells (RBCs) has a crucial function in hematology. Therefore, measuring …

3-D refractive index (RI) distribution is an intrinsic bio-marker for the chemical and structural
information about biological cells. Here we develop an optical diffraction tomography …

Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) mediate their suppressive action by acting directly on
conventional T-cells (Tcons) or dendritic cells (DCs). One mechanism of Treg suppression is …

We report a technique for simultaneous label-free quantification of cytoplasmic hemoglobin
Hb concentration and dynamic membrane fluctuation in individual red blood cells (RBCs) …

Simple Summary Since immune cells were found to attack cancer cells, strategies have
been developed to sustain anti-cancer immune functions to prevent them from becoming …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are central players in coordinating immune responses, both innate and
adaptive. While the role of lipid mediators in the immune response has been the subject of …
